Specialized Academic Certificates

You can use your General Education (GNED) elective courses to fulfill the requirements for a Specialized Academic Certificate. Specialized Academic Certificate programs provide an opportunity for students registered in a Diploma or Advanced Diploma program to earn an additional Centennial College Certificate concurrently with their diploma. In order to obtain a Specialized Academic Certificate, you must successfully complete GNED500 plus the three GNED courses required by the Specialized Academic Certificate program. The GNED courses will also fulfill the elective GNED requirements of the diploma program. There are currently three Specialized Academic Certificate programs:

• Indigenous Studies: First Peoples in Canada,
• Inclusive Leadership Practices, and
• Entrepreneurism

Certifications/Accreditations

The program is in-process to receive accreditation with the AED (Association of Equipment Distributors). The AED Foundation Technician Certification offers school programs the opportunity to validate students’ retained learning as they complete their technical education. This allows school programs to drill down to student performance measures in different subject areas and focus on continuous improvement. It also allows schools to offer recognition and a tangible reward for outstanding academic performance.

For the individual technician, AED Foundation Technician Certification is a professional credential from a prominent long-established industry association. Certification shows
technicians’ commitment to their profession and continuous learning. They can demonstrate their professional skills and knowledge to their industry and employer; and show pride in their chosen career.
